do yall wake up in the middle of the night to go pee ??
i dont have any pain whatsoever or ed or blood or weird stream, i just have hard time starting a stream and have to stay for couple of mins to push even small amounts until i feel im empty, yet after sleeping for 6-7 hours i wake up feeling pressure in the prostate like im going to pee a litre but its not that much of amount puls trying to pee after waking up is the hardest but after this one all other bathroom visits are ease, i do go to bathroom every 1.5-2 hours
did all tests all showed normal except for the urine flow test showed delay starting stream, ultra sound psa sperm all showed normal, doctor gave me alfuzosin and it absolutely did nothing
what's your thoughts?

My first symptoms for my urethral stricture were basically what you described, I had to pee semi-frequently and would need to push a little bit to totally drain. In the morning it was always worse than later in the day. I'm not sure if you already have had a cystoscopy and/or a retrograde urethrogram but if you have and they found nothing it probably isn't a stricture. You may want to return to your doctor though if alfuzosin hasn't done anything for you.

I would agree with R2595. These symptoms do look like of urethral stricture.
If your meds are not helping to relieve symptoms, then please ask doctor to see if he/she suggests urethrogram (if you hadn't done already). That should clear up things and will give you peace of mind.
In my case, doctor gave me similar α₁ blocker medicine (generally for prostate related issues). I took for one month without any improvement and then dr advised for urethrogram where stricture was identified.
Best regards

I have same thing with same treatment. Some thing obstructing but not been identified yet. May be prostate is hindering.

Hi,
Your symptoms are same as mine. Except the difficult urination part is when first time I wake up after midnight (say 3 am). On other times my urination is like I have to wait for 5, 10 ,15 or 30 secs to start the urine. I have even waited for 1 min but that has occurred only sometimes. when it starts it comes with urine drops or small stream and then there is gap finally the urine comes normal.
When bladder is with low urine, I'm unable to push out like before. When bladder is 3/4th its easier and when its full I get little cramps around prostate and then urine flows normal. Infact getting cramps / mild pain near prostate/bladder neck is regular symptom for me. When I go for a walk and return my urination is a lot easier to push.
Tests performed: PSA level normal, no white blood /red blood in urine, no bacterial infection, Ultrasound with no abnormalities identified.
Medicines taken : Azithromycin (7 days) it was useless. Recently took CFlox 500 mg for 2 weeks. CFLOX did help but it is not good to continue for long.
I have stopped medications. My Cystoscopy in scheduled 10 days, i'm seriously hoping my doctor knows what he is doing and takes care of my Urethra . Overall I'm mentally disturbed for almost 3 months now. This is also affecting sex life as me and wife were into planning.
Kind regards,

Everyone wakes up in the middle of the night to pee. If this is something which happens often, its safe to say there are internal problems.
